Two young, unwary men, Chicco and Spillo, rob the junk shop of a certain Politi, who is actually a dangerous fence who in fact reacts by shooting at the fleeing motorbike and hitting Spillo. Roberto, Luca and Anna collect Politi's complaint, later discovering that the man reacted in this way because the two had stolen some precious jewels from him, hidden among the junk. While Luca and Anna investigate the murder of a man who has just been released from prison after a rape conviction, Mauro expresses his anger to Giulia over Bondi's disappearance: the agent is convinced that the mole is Captain Rea himself. The commissioner is torn between his attraction to the man and Belli and Ardenzi's legitimate suspicions about the investigation into the ecomafia. Mauro and Roberto track down Bondi's acquaintance, Giacomo De Gregori, the owner of a transport company that received a lot of money from Liverani.
